Here are all the teaser drawings of the new Honda V4 road adventure bike which will be officially presented at the 2010 EICMA show in a couple of weeks’ time.
The new V4 is expected to be smaller than the VFR1200F and while it will still be a road-going model, the more adventure style is expected to see an upright, exposed frame model.
Could this be Honda’s attempt at getting back its V4 magic after the controversial and much maligned VFR1200F? The new V4 is not intended to be a replacement, but it could be the superior little sibling.
So far we get that it has a stacked headlight set-up and Honda says that a floating instrument panel will be included.
The more compact model involves a slimmer bike for better high-speed stability and handling, and it could have an 800 to 900cc engine.
Honda is describing this as a ‘crossover’ bike which we gather means it’s going to be their attempt at a touring-sports model similar to the mix of a bike like the Ducati Multistrada, but without the offroad part.
Apparently, we’re looking at a ‘power naked’ but with a sit-up-and-beg riding style.
